Expect lane closure on eastbound Hwy 14 in Mankato next week

Motorists advised to slow down and watch for workers

MANKATO, Minn. – Motorists will be reduced to one lane in the eastbound lanes of Highway 14 from Highway 22 in Mankato to Blue Earth County Road 12 the week of September 24 as MnDOT crews work to replace 10 panels in the highway.

Motorists will need to reduce their speeds and drive with caution as workers lives are on the line.

The actual repair work will only take two days, but the concrete needs to cure seven days before traffic is allowed on it. MnDOT maintenance crews had intended to get to the broken panels last year and that is why the work was not added to the larger Highway 14 construction project.
